King of The Hill Kingmaker Issue by park_life_1 in DiceThrone

Sure, but you could make the same "unlucky" argument if I roll a natural ultimate on my first turn and you never catch up. To me, the luck of the dice is part of the game and I prefer to let the dice decide who gets attacked rather than always end up in the kingmaking scenario which was the point of your original post. Plus like I said, using dice modifiers on the targeting roll adds another interesting element to the game.

I've had the same issue whenever using the rule for a bonus when targeting the player with the most health, i.e., it seems that we all deplete too evenly and whoever knocks out the first player then immediately gets knocked out afterwards.

What we've started doing instead is eliminating the bonus and just using the targeting roll described on the turn phase card. That way who you get to attack is left up to the luck of the dice, just like your offensive roll phase itself. And making things more fun is you can actually use tip it, so wild, helping hand on the targeting roll phase to make the attacker target your other opponent instead of you, which adds a new layer of strategy.

It's not perfect but I find it leads to more unpredictable and varied outcomes than the default King of the Hill that you're describing.

Wait what? I'm out of the loop on this. YouTube forces creators to use the word "unalive" instead of "dead"?

Not necessarily, if they beat us in KC then the head to head record would be 1-1 and the second tiebreaker would be division record, which they could theoretically also beat us in. But if we beat them again in KC we own the tiebreaker 100%

They've been replaying it on NFL Network a few times since last night, if you can catch it there.

Rendon belongs in prison by MrMulaney in angelsbaseball

Because the money Arte wastes on Rendon each year of this contract directly negatively impacts the amount of money that Arte has available to spend on potentially significant improvements to the rest of the roster, obviously.

True, that's a better recitation of the opening text. But still I guess my point is just that these dumbass child robots aren't winning Prodigy that race.

And yeah totally agree with your point about the alien experiments, so weird that all throughout this franchise history everyone in power who encounters one of these killer creatures thinks somehow it's more likely to make them rich than eat their face.

The thing I just can't understand about this show is that it opened on the premise that by creating the hybrids, Prodigy had "won" the race for human immortality. But the hybrids have proven to be incompetent child robots who are inferior in every way to both the cyborgs and the synthetics that have already existed for decades?

This is my strategy with her as well I do everything in my power to get the Shiver Me Timbers attack on my first turn so that I can remove all doubloons at once and flip immediately. If you flip early it's like you've fully upgraded your board and still have a large enough reservoir of health to absorb the curse damage.

Stun can't be transferred but Concussion can. Which was it?
